Over the last two decades, maternal deaths have decreased by nearly 50% worldwide. Still, every day, 800 women die from pregnancy- or childbirth-related complications. Almost all of these deaths—99%—occur in developing countries. And for every woman who dies in childbirth, another 20 to 50 survive but suffer devastating injuries, such as obstetric fistula.

AYMO -centered approach to maternal health addresses women’s sexual and reproductive health needs throughout their lives, including adolescence. Ensuring the availability of quality services helps pave the path for appropriate, specialized care during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Still, for many women, pregnancy marks their first contact with the health care system, which provides an unmatched opportunity not only to help make pregnancy and delivery safe for both mother and child, but also to address broader aspects of women’s health, including family planning, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections (STI)

AYMO’s programs ensure that health facilities are equipped with supplies and well-trained staff to provide high-quality services for Safe pregnancy.

Safe pregnancy

HIV and STI screening, prevention, treatment, and counseling

Family planning

In Tanzania, girls drop out of school at a higher rate than boys beginning at puberty, and many do not have access to reliable reproductive health education as they enter adolescence. Access to menstrual hygiene products and sexual and reproductive health education is thought to help reduce school absence and improve health and social outcomes, however, little rigorous evidence exists to date.

AYMO forms long term to address this by creating  innovative rights-based menstrual and reproductive health and rights education (MRHE) in the form of a referable health campaign called “JUA AFYA YAKO , designed for behaviour change, and to improve the health and agency of adolescent girls living in the deepest pockets of economic and informational poverty, as well as AFYA YANGU  ( “My health ”) a corresponding 24-session facilitated health education curriculum adapted from the Adolescent Reproductive Health and Life Skills Curriculum. AYMO will typically address this problem by giving out

AYMO provides access to health care for low-income people who are most likely to have high medical expenses: disabled and elderly people and pregnant women.

The dramatic increase over the past 50 years in medicine’s ability to increase life expectancy and improve quality of life (especially for people with chronic conditions) has made disparities in access to health care more troubling. There is no doubt that poverty is a contributing factor to poor health outcomes.

Poor people have lower life expediency, higher prevalence of chronic illnesses and health conditions, and more unmet health needs than people with middle-class and high incomes. But the causal path between poverty and poor health outcomes is still complex in Tanzania

Through this program AYMO will Provide the following service 

1. Disease examination / diagnosis & patient referrals

2. Mobile pharmacy delivery of medicine

3. Family medicine and planning, maternity ward & immunization of children

4. HIV testing and counselling

5. Malaria treatment

Safe and adequate water supply and sanitation in schools are pre-requisites for the right to basic education for school children . The provision of adequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in schools has been linked to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on universal primary education, gender equality and child mortality, and more recently to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and in particular Goal 6 on clean water and sanitation by 2030 (UN General Assembly 2015). Academic research suggests that access to adequate WASH services in schools may contribute to improved education and health of children by reducing the number of days missed in schools due to menstrual periods.

Adequate WASH in schools could also prevent diarrhoea and gastrointestinal diseases in Tanzania communities  It is estimated that 94% of the causes of diarrhoeal diseases are attributed to environmental factors, which include unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene.
